More trouble for 4kids, it looks like.

Apparently they are doing so bad their stock is getting delisted from the New York Stock Exchange, which means they are losing so much money that their stock is next to worthless. I think the writing is on the wall for this company, which means good and bad news. The good news is that they will probably lose the rights/be forced to sell the rights of their properties, which means there is a possibility of uncut, unedited versions of Yugi-Oh, Tokyo Mew Mew, Orujemi Do-Re-Mi and Shaman King being bought by other dubbing companies, like Funimation or Bandai. The bad news is they may be stubborn and not let go of their properties until their licenses expire (which we don't know when that is) and these properties will go into licensing hell for as long as a decade (as what's happened with Sailor Moon)

I really hope for the former, because it's pretty much been every anime fan's dream to be able to legally buy or watch the full version of Yugi-Oh and Tokyo Mew Mew, and 4kids stubbornness to release uncut versions in addition to their kiddy versions has been a thorn in the Otaku community's side for YEARS. In the beginning, their edits weren't *too* bad, in fact there was a time when 4kids was less annoying than Funimation's edits, but over the years (methinks due to the FCC's new crackdown on television broadcasts) their edits have gone to nonsensical. Editing out Japanese food, any kind of even mind violence, and even editing out pokeballs (seriously?)

But as 4kids still is around, we still have to wait and see.
